“ one lives for today, and this state of the soul makes the game easy for all seducers, for one allows oneself to be seduced and bribed only “for today” while reserving the future and one’s virtue.
Individuals—being truly in-and-for-themselves 21
— care, as is well known, more for the moment than do their opposites, the herd men, for they consider themselves no less incalculable than the future. ”
 Friedrich Nietzsche, The Gay Science (1882). copy citation
